In the Guardian, Judith Mackrell previews "Lest We Forget," works by three choreographers -- Liam Scarlett, Russell Maliphant and Akram Khan -- on a theme of World War I, April 2-12, 2014 at London's Barbican Theatre.

While Rojo wishes Muntagirov the best, she’s within her rights to be just a little bit peeved — “it’s frustrating to nourish talent and then lose it,” she says. “We invest in these dancers, their career development. I use my international position to raise the profile of my dancers. And then if they leave, of course it’s frustrating. You think, ‘we have done this for you’.” But it often comes down to economics; some companies are just richer than others “so there is a limit to our bargaining power,” she concedes.

It was Wayne Eagling who 'nourished' Muntagirov, not TR, but to suggest he left the company for purely financial reasons is insulting to him.

Also perplexed by the reference to Oksana Skorik; most ballet goers regard whoever is posting film of her incompetence on line as a bit of a hero - certainly not a troll.
